Emotional/relational preferences: who do you feel more drawn to emotionally?

Answers are on a scale from one to seven, with different sex only on one extreme and similar sex only on the other. Of note: people do not always choose to be in a relationship with the people that they may have an attraction, fantasy or preference for.

Is Bisexuality Real?
This is the question that is most asked of a bisexual person.

Bisexual people are questioned about bisexuality because their friends and family think they are lying; that they are not ready to admit that they are gay or lesbian. Questioning a person’s sexuality is a way of denying what they say. Sexuality is a complex mix of attraction, behavior, fantasies, social preferences and self identity.

Is Bisexuality a Phase?
Parents often say, “You are just going through a phase.”

Questions about bisexuality being a phase or being real are damaging because they say, “We don’t believe you.”

You don’t have to be actively engaged with both men and women to be bisexual. Bisexuality is largely invisible because of this inaccurate way of thinking.
